Medico-legal neurology

Understanding the patterns, relationships and inner experiences that shape us
Analytical psychology, developed from the work of Carl Jung, explores both conscious and unconscious experience. It can provide a way of thinking about recurring patterns, relationships, dreams, identity and the parts of ourselves that are not always immediately available to conscious awareness.
Analytical psychology is not only about looking backwards
Past experiences matter, but so do the ways we are trying to develop now. Analytic psychotherapy can offer space to examine repeated difficulties, emotional conflicts and questions of meaning while developing a fuller understanding of ourselves and greater freedom in how we respond.
Exploring reactions and relationship patterns that seem to repeat even when circumstances change.
Considering dreams, images and feelings as possible ways into aspects of experience that are not yet clear.
Thinking about contradiction, transition, ageing, purpose and the development of a more integrated self.
What is analytical psychology?
An introduction to Jungian psychology, complexes, shadow, individuation, dreams and how Jungian therapy compares with other approaches.
